Before You Begin
Ensure you have:
The latest version of the Pixel Dancer app installed
Your Chromaglow controllers are powered and functioning
Access to a stable 2.4GHz WiFi network
Pro Tip: When setting up multiple controllers, configure all client controllers first, and set up the master controller last for optimal performance.
Step-by-Step Setup Process
Video guide for Connecting Multiple Chromaglow Controllers in Network Mode:
1. Initial Connection
Open your device's WiFi settings
Connect to the controller's WiFi network (named "WEC-XXX")
Launch the Pixel Dancer app
Wait for the "Connection Successful" message
2. Setting Up Client Controllers
In the Pixel Dancer app, go to Settings
Select "Network Mode"
Enter your WiFi network name exactly as it appears
Enter your WiFi password
Select "Client" mode
Tap "Reboot WEC" to save settings
Wait for the controller's green light to stop flashing and become steady
Test the connection by adjusting colors in the app
3. Setting Up the Master Controller
After all client controllers are set up:
Close the Pixel Dancer app completely
Connect to the final controller in Direct Mode
Go to Settings
Select "Network Mode"
Enter the same WiFi network information
Select "Master" mode
Tap "Reboot WEC"
4. Verifying the Connection
To confirm successful setup:
Wait for the controller's green light to become steady
Open the Pixel Dancer app
Test the color wheel - all connected controllers should respond in sync
Important: If the controllers don't appear on the network, you may need to perform a hard reset and repeat the process. Ensure you're using a 2.4GHz network, as 5GHz networks are not compatible.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
